In my opinion, it’s more than just the easy availability of guns. It’s this whole culture that we’ve bred of the “noble gunowner”, the romanticizing of the Old West stereotypes, the redefinition of masculinity to include brutal anger and heavy firepower. Sure, we can take the guns off the streets, but we also need to solve the heart issues of people who think flying off the handle and shooting someone is a perfectly acceptable way to end a confrontation.
